R.I.P. Australian DJ, Producer, and Label Head Ajax

Adrian Thomas, the Australian DJ, producer, and label head better known as DJ Ajax, died in an automobile accident in Melbourne yesterday, Billboard reports. He had just turned 41.

Ajax was credited with helping revive an interest in electronic dance music in Australia. He was a founding member of of the DJ crew Bang Gang, who released music on Modular and Ministry of Sound. He also ran the label Sweat It Out, best known for releasing Yolanda Be Cool vs D Cup's hit "We No Speak Americano".

“Very few people have the gall to call themselves a legend, especially in Australia where proclaiming your own greatness has long been looked down upon," Modular said in a statement. "In that regard Ajax was in a league of his own. A true gentleman and a cherished friend, this week we lost one of Australia's true legends.”

Fans have set up a Facebook tribute page for Ajax. Above, listen to his remix of "Love Keeps" by Yolanda Be Cool.
